What is Sustainable Landscaping?
Traditional landscape management involves heavy inputs of water, chemicals, and fossil fuel-powered machinery. The environmental impacts are significant. Sustainable landscaping offers an alternative, but what is it? At its core, sustainable landscaping seeks to work with natural processes to achieve a landscape that is aesthetically pleasing, functional, with lower maintenance. This podcast will explore the techniques involved in sustainable landscaping and the benefits to you and your local environment.
